How many rounds have you put through your 15-22?

[rflatt]

Getting started

Just picked mine up last night.Cleaned and oiled really well.Shot 200 rds today.100 cci blazer and 100 federal bulk.Perfect with no failures at all and very accurate to 25 yds.Will try further when I get a scope on it.

I have shot 700 flawless rounds since getting mine, last Friday. I could be more pleased. The 15-22 is a stellar performer. It's soooooo cheap to shoot.

Currently, I have only been able to shoot at 25 yards. The accuracy of this firearm is much better than I had expected. I have been busy with my 2 year old grandson and do not have the time to drive out to the longer ranges. Hopefully, the weekend after next, I will be able to shoot at 50 and 75 yards . . . Can't wait for that!

I lost count somewhere around 2,500. I probably have somewhere around 3,200 rounds through it now. I blew the extractor off around 2,000 rounds, that was my fault though, I knew I shouldn't have been shooting the Remington grenades.

 

[CajunMouseSniper]

A tad over 15,000 with no issues other than an occasional mag snag. Mainly shooting Federal bulk but lately have been shooting CCI Grren Tag when I can find it. Subsonics sound cool and are much more accurate!

let's see,...550 in a box....20 boxes.......equals ALOT...lol

I'm curious just what you high round count guys shoot?

I've got about 1500 - 2000 rounds thru mine (five boxes of Winchester 333 plus assorted boxes of 50 and 100 of others) and I'm running out of things to shoot!

I don't shoot living things (unless they have the ability to shoot back!) and the darn range cleaned up most of the shotgun hulls I like to chase around and down the range with this rifle. Paper and that same steel old target are as boring as the current reliability of my M&P15-22.

Will .22LR kick those poly blocks hard enough to move around?

Chuck- my latest target of choice is golf balls! When I get home from work I'll throw a few out in the pasure and shoot em until they are out of range. Lots of fun and they hold up pretty well. Also have some metal spinning targets set up up at 50yds and larger metal plates nailed to trees at 75 and 100 yds. Been shooting alot freehand trying to improve my steadiness. I'm deadly using the bipod out to 75 yds but there is still plenty of room for improvement shooting without a rest. -Mike

this is actually a good idea. if i had the place i would first - hit some range balls and then second - shoot them with the 15-22. then i wouldn't have to go pick them up!

two in one sport. the fun of driving balls and the best of all shooting them

 

[TurboniumOxide]

I wonder how well Tiger Woods can shoot? The grounds keeper would be pretty upset I imagine.

Full Auto Golf.

Edit: Have you guys seen that thing you can screw onto your AR that shoots golf balls?
I think Cheaper than dirt has them. This plan might just come together.

If you can hit a golf ball with a 15-22 after a driver.... you're a great shot or must really struggle on a long par 5

LOL- I'm a sand wedge guy for certain! I've still got a little space on my rail... I wonder if Belt Fed could machine up a club holder for my 15-22. Does Ping makes clubs in tacticool black?

"anything can be done"

I've got a couple of thousand rounds through mine now, been exclusively using Winchester Super X as I have a case of 5000 that I'm chewing through. No real troubles at all - one or two fail to fires, which I'm more inclined to blame on rimfire ammo than anything else. I really am impressed with this rifle so far.

 

[M4J0R T0M]

Mine has about 2500 rounds through it now.

About 1000 before it went in for the repair, yeah I'm stubborn.

About 1500 flawless rounds after the repair.

From 4/30/10:
"Before return to S&W-36
Since return from S&W-4,000 (Half Federal, half CCI MiniMag)"

Currently, I'm up to a little over 6,000. I'm convinced the MiniMags are the best but I realize some folks don't like them.

Phil-What's the point in shooting at golf balls 14' away?

My cheap target of choice is saltine crackers on a 2x4 w/ a thin slit lengthwise. If I'm ever attacked by a 2" square cracker from 25 yards, I'm ready. At 50 yards, they are reasonably safe!

For you environmental fans, the crackers are biodegradable and the birds seem to like them, too.

 

[stratdragon92]

I would have to guess over a 1000. i was keeping track at one point but since i've had no real issues. I think maybe 2 or 3 fail to fire, but I'd chalk that up to the ammo. I have a 10 22 that's been collecting dust it has only 600 or so rounds through it and that has had 2 or 3 FTF. I was a little concerned about buying the 15 22 at first, I had some advice not to. I'm glad I ignored it. It's been super reliable and a blast to shoot. If the zombies came tonight and I could only grab one of my guns it'd be the 15-22 and about 2000 rds of ammo that we have laying around.

I shoot at least 200 per range trip, and since I have a 10rd communist mag with no load assist every round is loaded with tension on it. so no mag issues for me so far.

 

[MR_T]

I am at close to 3.5K of federal bulk a 100 pack of CCI minimag and 50 Pack of Mexican subsonic "target ammo". Can honestly count less than 20 jams with the federal, none with the cci and every other round with the subsonic failed to feed.

 

[Skidder]

a little over 8000 flawless rounds have passed through the barrel of mine. I use CCI and Federal bulk. I smile everytime I shoot this rifle.

 

[wickerbill]

I'm at about 2500 rds so far. The only issues I've had have all been mag snags. In other words, the nut behind the trigger didn't load the mag right. The only mag issues I've had are bent noses. I've shot mostly Fed. bulk packs with some CCI mimimags and two boxes of Eley subsonic HP's.

[bang bang]

so far about 700 rds. Fiocci, CCI Velocitor and a whole bunch of Aguila interceptors. Going to buy Federal bulk next.

NOT ONE FTF OR FTE. 100% RELIABLE SO FAR
